The Everlasting Muse

I want to find this girl I know I need to take her out
I set a snare in evening air
Made of faith and hope and doubt

I want to spend some time with her
Learn the secrets of her trade
I wouldn't mean to cross the line
And look into the other side
Forbidden to my kind Forbidden to my kind

I need to hang out with my love The raven-headed sprite
I know I'll never dance like her Or keep her up at nine
I need to hang around with her I need to let her know

Her cause is mine I'm but a slave
I look into her wondrous gaze
And taste the strangest core And make the purest noise

What I would do to make the girl stand out in the rain
I serve my window watching
close, she will appear again

Still polishing her crazy hair
Still whispering curlies, drunk on song
If I could only right my wrongs and take her
to my favorite place And steal a melody
'Cause I need only see her face
A thousand worries fall away And music rushes in

Listen to the sound of life Drink deep of the day
Wait for her, but don't obsess
She called beyond the way

Winds will blow and stones will rage
The music's always sad
Money tends to disappear
Beauty crumbles with the years
But music is for us Music is for us


What I would do to make the girl stand out in the rain
I serve my window watching close,
she will appear again
Still polishing her crazy hair
Still whispering curlies, drunk on song

If I could only right my wrongs and take her
to her favorite place And steal a melody
'Cause I need only see her face
A thousand worries fall away And music rushes in

If I could only see her face and know that he was close
There is a deeper logic here, the everlasting muse
I left the danger for a night I left the sadness for a day
And know that I am in safe hands
She'll peel the filth and old cigar An everlasting song

She waves her money straight with zeal
I know she'll start without delay
A tapestry of words
A subtle gift to modern rock
She says, be popular, play pop
And you will win my love

A subtle gift to modern rock
She says, be popular, play pop
And you will win my love
